Quality Costs
Posted by Kevin L. at 21:14 UAE time
I wish to inform Mr. Sunny Varkey not to be intimidated by the irresponsible behavior of some parents. If the fees need to be raised, then so be it. Parents need to know that quality costs. These same parents will not blink an eyelid when buying the most expensive and luxurious items. If they want quality, they must pay for it; or seek the second best.

High Fees to students and Teachers poorly paid
Posted by Alumni_Student at 15:00 UAE time
I studied in one of the Varkey schools for my O and A levels and needless to say, the quality of education was good, if not satisfactory but my parents had to pay through their nose to put me through that school. International qualifications was not cheap and this school was the cheaper among the lot.
The sad bit was that there was a huge salary discrepancy between the Western teachers and the Asian teachers and other staff. Y?????? arent they both of the same profession and teaching the same students??????? I understand you do need to make profits but to segregate teachers according to nationality or skin color ???? Maybe Varkey Schools should charge students according to nationalities??? and then lets see what happens...

The flourishing business of running
Posted by Stephen B. Gomes at 16:35 UAE time
Running "mediocre" schools for the expatriates is a thriving business in the Middle East. With the glut of "stay-at-home" mothers, these schools lured "stay-at-home" mothers to teach in schools giving the schools an opportunity to exploit the "stay-at-home" mothers at lower than "minimum wage" salaries providing schools with unqualified teachers.
